Ranked Play may not be in Modern Warfare at launch

Infinity Ward sat down with GameInformer for a QA session about Modern Warfare.

They were asked if the game will feature Ranked Play or League Play, and the developers said that they’re not sure if it’ll be available in game at launch.

This is a bit worrisome for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare especially with the franchised Call of Duty League set to launch in 2020.

Black Ops 4 also missed the launch with League Play only coming in 5 months after launch.
